Microsoft 365 - A Hub for Team Collaboration

Written by Samuel Adams | 12/03/2020

With modern technology comes a modern way of working. More teams around the world are adopting a hybrid business model, encouraging employees to work remotely when it fits their needs. Some companies have even shifted entirely to remote operations, slashing their overhead operational costs. However, without a space, how are employees meant to collaborate with each other? Traditionally, offices and conference rooms have been the go-to spot to brainstorm ideas, tackle tough challenges, and plan for the future. In today's work-from-home world, technology has stepped in to provide the opportunity for a new way to collaborate. Microsoft has driven innovation, creating new opportunities for collaboration in the digital space that bridges the gap between the home and the office. 

OneDrive and Sharepoint

Imagine you're in a meeting - potentially the most important meeting of the year. You've been preparing for days, creating engaging PowerPoints and generating Excel documents that perfectly illustrate your point. The only problem is that your flash drive is sitting at home on your kitchen counter. It's okay, we've all been there.

Thankfully, those days are in the past. Through the power of OneDrive cloud storage, your most important files are there when you need them the most. With intuitive mobile applications and desktop integrations, you're able to access the data that you need even when there's no computer in sight. With any computer or mobile device with an internet connection, you're instantly ready to use your entire family of files. 

Microsoft Teams

Teams is a comprehensive communication and collaboration hub, providing your entire organization with the ability to chat, call, schedule meetings, share files, and more from one single application. While it's a fantastic app on its own, the true power of Microsoft Teams is revealed when it meshes with and takes advantage of the power of the rest of the Microsoft family. Through compatibility with emails in Microsoft Outlook and projects created in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive, and more, Microsoft Teams provides you with the ultimate way to work with others each day. 

Online Co-Editing Across Office 365

A team's best work comes when every person brings their perspective and knowledge to the table, combining efforts to overcome any problem in their path. Whether it's a Word document, a PowerPoint presentation, or an Excel spreadsheet, Microsoft provides users with the opportunity to edit the same document in real time from anywhere in the world. Whether it's communication between workers in the office and those on the road, one company location and another, or workers on opposite sides of the globe, Office 365 provides seamless editing and collaboration that drives results and tears down any boundaries standing between teams and the goals that they've set for themselves.

Of course, mistakes happen in any project. No matter who was at fault, there is no cause for concern. Microsoft saves each change made to every document, allowing users to roll back to a previous version of there were any missteps along the way. 

No matter where you are, what you're working on, or who you're working with, Microsoft Office 365 provides a foundation for collaboration that enables teams to achieve more with each day through powerful tools that encourage communication and understanding. Whether you're already a pro or are just breaking into the family of productivity applications that Microsoft has created, now is the perfect opportunity to optimize the way that you work.
